Amiberry vs Amigo — Amiga Emulator

Amiberry is a free Amiga emulator built on the WinUAE core. It runs on Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows, and supports Amiga models including the A500, A1200, A4000, CD32, and CDTV, as well as listed arcade systems. It supports save states, hardware acceleration, and a wide range of disk image formats, including ADF, HDF, ISO, and CHD. Kickstart is not included. The emulator can launch WHDLoad titles with automatic configuration and offers CRT bezels, built-in shaders, and external GLSL shaders. Its interface can be navigated by mouse or gamepad, and floppy images, hard files, and configuration files can be dragged into it. A custom JIT compiler supports ARM64 and x86-64. The built-in update checker verifies downloads with SHA256. Amiberry is licensed under GPLv3, and the site lists packages or installation options for its supported platforms. The project welcomes bug reports, feature suggestions, and pull requests.

Amigo is a free emulator for running classic Commodore Amiga software on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Silicon Mac. On its first launch it boots a built-in AROS ROM, but running genuine Amiga software requires the user’s own Kickstart ROM and disks. Configurations range from A500, A1200, A4000, and CD32 systems to 68060 workstations, with OCS/ECS/AGA chipsets and up to 256 MB of Zorro III RAM. It accepts floppy, hard-drive, and CD images in formats including ADF, HDF, ISO, and CHD. Input options include touch, keyboards, pointing devices, Bluetooth and USB controllers, and Apple Pencil features. Amigo has save states, autosave, named configurations, and iCloud sync for configurations and save states. It requires iOS or iPadOS 17 or later, or an Apple Silicon Mac with macOS 14 or later. The project is GPL-2. Its privacy policy says the app collects no data, makes no internet connections itself, and does not upload user files.
